We see children, teens and young adults for a whole range of reasons.
Kinder kids
We help pre-school children. This includes providing assessments for autism and school readiness, and support for difficulties with behaviour, social interactions and emotional regulation.
School students
School-aged children come to us when learning becomes too much like hard work and getting along with others is difficult. We assess and support kids with ADHD, autism and specific learning disorders (like dyslexia).
Young adults
When learning gets tough in secondary school, university or TAFE, we can help. We often see young adults with unrecognised autism, ADHD or learning difficulties. We offer support with time management, study skills and exam preparation.
